4.0 out of 5 stars Gina Smolders, March 6, 2005

By	David S. Jenkins (On the Road) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Finding this in a $3.99 cut-out section, I picked it up figuring it was worth lunch money to watch Gina Gershon for 91 minutes. What I got was a lot more - a swiftly paced race through the back streets of Toronto (the most beautiful city in North America) and clever acting, fine direction and very interesting editing effects. The director and technical crew really made an effort to create something unique and it shows. It's forgettable and it won't change your life, but it's a great popcorn movie in the dark. Shame it wasn't filmed in black and white, it's a cool little film noire piece, well worth your time. Juliette Lewis is very good as a cornered, not too bright little barfly pickup, and it's a kick to watch her make stupid move after stupider move. Gina Gershon is superb as just the opposite, a street smart, ruthless, no nonsense criminal type. Don't ever let her sit on your lap, as you'll see in the first few minutes of the film. Someday some of these clowns in Hollywood will see that Gershon is a very talented lady, and if she was any more attractive in a dangerous razor blade kind of way the plastic casing of your TV would melt. Very sharp little film. Turn the color off, increase the contrast a bit and hang on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Twis The Night Away!, April 25, 2005

By	P. B Rubalcaba "PR Guy" (Redlands, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Twist the night away!

Wanna watch a murder thriller with all the twists and
turns? "Picture Claire" is just for you? Starring
Juliette Lewis as "Claire", this Indy flick has all
the ingredients of a mystery mogul compacted in 90
minutes of fun, mystique, romance and release...in the
form of "relief".

Co-stars Gina Gershon and Callum Keith Rennie fill
this movie with solidity and character only they could
cast (and portray).

Juliette has always been tops on my list. After her
roles in "Natural Born Killers", "Kalifornia" and
"Strange Days" (not to mention her childhood role as
Audrey in Christmas Vacation), JL is a quality
actress.

I really don't want to give away any of the plot, but
the title refers to a picture (photograph) of Claire.
Nothing more from me. It's worth a rental, or a
purchase. It's also worth a 5 on the murder mystery
genre.

5.0 out of 5 stars A vertiginous thriller!, March 23, 2006

By	Hiram Gomez Pardo (Valencia, Venezuela) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Far from previous narrative conventionalisms, this movie accents the memory weight around a very wounded and disillusioned woman who had a sudden love affair with an artist of the photography. But love hurts, specially when you give more than you receive. So in this state of things a very well puzzled script will lead us to presence an admirable crossroad, visibly remarked over and over with the poster of that unforgettable Noir titled: "Criss cross" that alludes the tensional state of Claire, cheated, haunted and supposedly murder `s suspect.

Juliette Lewis gave a jarring performance as this distorted mind woman without present and not even dreams of future; Gina Gershon as the cold blood woman and Mickey Rourke in a brief appearance of just fifteen minutes on screen make of this work a very recommended option at the moment to consider among the most interesting thrillers made that year. I would like you to notice you the related link with a cult movie from the Eighties: Diva.
